| Pros | Gutenberg block and widget for placing ads; AMP and Facebook Instant Articles support included | Free, with unlimited ad blocks; Placement in content, widgets, shortcodes and the block editor; Device and country targeting, resolved from a bundled database; No visitor IP sent to external services, per the readme |
| Cons | Needs an AdPlugg account and access code; Ad scripts and tracking come from a third-party ad service | Ad code is inserted as supplied, so the site owner must check it; Country targeting uses a bundled IP database that needs upkeep; Ad networks must be configured separately; the plugin only inserts code |
